The Gauhati High Court dismissed the review petition of Fatema Bidhaba, a 56-year-old woman from Assam, upholding the Foreigners' Tribunal's 2019 declaration that she is an illegal migrant who entered Assam after March 25, 1971. The court found that the petitioner failed to establish a clear linkage to her claimed father through her submitted documents (particularly the Jamabandi land record), noting inconsistencies in naming conventions and lack of evidence supporting her pre-1971 presence in Assam, and rejected her argument that her siblings' inclusion in the NRC (National Register of Citizens) would automatically establish her citizenship status. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
